Gunny a retard with a fat wife. No wonder why you are so angry that can't be fun
Hates America and the Constitution.
My wife isn't fat and I'm hardly retarded hence why you and your multiple accounts cry so much about me posting and destroying your Marxist narratives.
Sounds like authoritarianism.
Article I, Section 8
- Clause 17: To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;

So thats why you can amend things. When you have almost 3/4 of a million people not represented while living in the USA they need to have the ability to vote. AHHHH That's right not wanting everyone to vote is your guys thing. DC DC DC 51
ohhhh, an Amendment. Good.
Article V
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
For you liberals in the audience, it requires 2/3 approval in the House and the Senate, and then ratification by 3/4 of the states.
Good luck with your hair brained ideas.
Being a Commie tried to kill him by shooting him we should all agree he has earned a right to give an opinion on the subject.
Time to introduce entire DC population to the finer cuisine of Solyent Green
Wants to pack the Supreme Court and is giddy about all the new IRS employees.
Never seen the movie. Had to look up the plot. Sounds like something Democrats wouldn't have a problem with to survive.
Hey retard, pickup a US history book sometime. DC was formed by taking land from both Virginia and Maryland. Both Democrat strongholds. If DC was ever to be a state again, we’d just give the land back to VA and MD. Stop being a dumbass. If DC was a conservative majority, you’d be arguing the exact opposite.
In the movie, soylent was people. In the book that the movie was based on, named Make Room, Make Room, soylent was a combination of soy and lentils. That book was written in 1966 and it was a dystopian novel about how things would be in 1999 which turned out to be completely wrong.
If they are going to have people in DC belong to a state, they should make it be Maryland and Virginia. And to counteract the increase in population those states would get, they should start dispersing all the Fed Govt stuff in Maryland and Virginia across the country. I can see how it was beneficial to have all those things close together in the olden days, but with modern technology people don't need to be so physically close to each other.
Take an agency out of DC and put it in Topeka, Kansas.
Take something out of suburban Maryland, which is effectively a Fed Govt thing but there's so much that it overflows out of DC, and put it in Boise, Idaho.
Take something out of suburban Virginia, which is effectively a Fed Govt thing but there's so much that it overflows out of DC, and put it in Albequerque, New Mexico.
And then repeat that about 50 or 100 times.
One famous thing about the Fed Govt is it's out of touch with people across the country. Well if you spread Fed Govt workers across the country then it'll go a long way to solving that problem.

DC shouldn’t ever be a state. It needs left where it is. Taxation without representation is only a distraction and smoke screen to the real agenda. And that is to increase Democrat electoral votes to keep them in power. I promise you, if DC was a conservative majority, you wouldn’t ever hear a peep about making the district a state. And that is a fact.
**** like this. The Biden Administration knew damn well this was illegal and they didn't have the authority to do it. They did it to try and get votes. That's it. They have no plan to fix the actual problem from the ground up.
Bring manufacturing back from overseas and I could be talked into giving free vocational training to get people employed. Other than that tax payers shouldn't be paying for degrees that don't contribute to society in a meaningful way. There's always the GI Bill for those that want to contribute for a free education.

Washington, DC, isn't a state; it's a district. DC stands for District of Columbia. Its creation comes directly from the US Constitution, which provides that the district, not exceeding 10 Miles square, would become the Seat of the Government of the United States.
Our Founding Fathers explicitly set aside a federal district to serve as the seat of government. It was never intended to operate as a state, and for good reason. If Washington D.C. unlawfully becomes a state, which is what many Democrats are proposing now, it will not join the others in equal standing. Rather, it will create a super-state that has privilege and primacy over all others, which it will most likely use to promote policies that harm Texas. Hyper-partisans and elites in DC should be kept from undermining our nation’s 50 States and granting themselves unlawful authority.
The District of Columbia’s creation is rooted in Article I, section 8, clause 17 of the Constitution, which says that the Seat of the Government of the United States shall be a district that is at most ten square miles and separate and apart from the other particular States.
What's to stop the leftist dictatorship from adding seats by breaking up California or Texas or Florida, massive states that only get two senators.

Exactly right. If anyone feels they are not represented, they can easily move 10 miles outside of town and live in VA or Maryland.
When I see a politician arguing to bring all our manufacturing of needs back to American soil & stop allowing foreign companies to own American soil I will never they are for us .
I think it is a great point. Moving an agency to another place won't ruin the new location but it forces govt employees to live around people who have different goals in life than they do.
time for you to move to another country that suits your politics better...iran....north korea....cuba...venezuela...travel brochures available for free
@sammyk, why do you and the rest of the bleaters never give opinions on the mutilation of our children, the grooming in our schools, taxpayer-funded drag shows, sexually explicit books in grade schools, wide open borders, illegal foreign nationals before American citizens, high taxes, record high inflation, uncontrolled spending, record high crime, shutting down energy independence, begging terrorist countries for oil, high energy costs, wokeness in the military, wokeness in our schools....etc, etc, etc?
You just hang on Trump's sack while ignoring what your messiahs are doing to our country.
I just don't get it.
